Above & Beyond are back with yet another single with the stunning grammy nominated singer Zoë Johnston. Any Above & Beyond fan will agree that this possible can be one of the best songs of their career. The British singer’s natural, strong, yet really dreamy voice goes perfectly with Above & Beyond’s production, thus banging out a solid end product.

If you haven’t already heard the track, check it out below on Soundcloud and if you use any other platform, follow this link to listen on your preferred platform.

This masterpiece of a track was premiered by the trio itself during their performance at Electric Zoo Festival in New York. The track starts off with beautiful pads and small plucks, that gives body and meaning to Zoë Johnston’s soft and calming vocals which carry a greater meaning. In a statement, Johnston said "'My Own Hymn' is an ode to compassion, forgiveness and celebration of the self." You can read the full statement here.

The vocals do a great job in setting the mood right before introducing the classic saw trance chord stabs. The melody line itself is really catchy and will for sure have you humming it sooner than you think. The whole drop sits somewhere between trance and progressive house and the addition of vocals with the chord stabs and the main drums in the drop is something that makes this track so special. The arrangement and the overall flow is flawless and we are sure this track will be on repeat for so many of you out there.

The artists got the track just right and there isn’t anything that they could’ve done better. There are so many exciting things that will be coming from Above & Beyond in the near future and one of them is their 250th show of Above & Beyond Group Therap, that will take place at The George in Washington State from September 16-17. Follow the artists on their social media to keep an eye on any future announcements and to stay updated with their projects.
